Abstract
The 7Li(p, α)4He reaction is used to observe the Li behavior during the discharge and recharge process in the thin-film-type all-solid-state Li battery. The incident proton beam energy used in this nuclear reaction analysis (NRA) was set at 1.5 MeV. The emitted α-particle in NRA and backscattered proton in Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) were detected by the same silicon surface detector (SSD) simultaneously. First of all, the cross sections of 7Li(p, α)4He for the proton energies between 1.0 and 1.5 MeV were experimentally determined in order to make quantitative analyses. Next, the emission angle of the α-particle with respect to the surface normal was explored to determine the optimum angle to distinguish the layers in the battery sample. By using the obtained cross-sections and optimized emission angle, the 7Li NRA profiles on the battery sample at the charged state and discharged state were taken. The Li migration in the battery due to these processes was clearly observed. The results implied that whole the electrolyte seemed to play the role of both the electrolyte and the anode.
期刊介绍:
Section B of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research covers all aspects of the interaction of energetic beams with atoms, molecules and aggregate forms of matter. This includes ion beam analysis and ion beam modification of materials as well as basic data of importance for these studies. Topics of general interest include: atomic collisions in solids, particle channelling, all aspects of collision cascades, the modification of materials by energetic beams, ion implantation, irradiation - induced changes in materials, the physics and chemistry of beam interactions and the analysis of materials by all forms of energetic radiation. Modification by ion, laser and electron beams for the study of electronic materials, metals, ceramics, insulators, polymers and other important and new materials systems are included. Related studies, such as the application of ion beam analysis to biological, archaeological and geological samples as well as applications to solve problems in planetary science are also welcome. Energetic beams of interest include atomic and molecular ions, neutrons, positrons and muons, plasmas directed at surfaces, electron and photon beams, including laser treated surfaces and studies of solids by photon radiation from rotating anodes, synchrotrons, etc. In addition, the interaction between various forms of radiation and radiation-induced deposition processes are relevant.
